Does anyone know where (if it's possible) one can purchase a hugger that will fit over a 17" GSXR 5.5" wheel mounted to a stock '89 FJ swingarm? 
Has anyone done this? 
A source and a part number would be great.

Thanks,

Mark

L A Mike did a neat GSXR hugger on his FJ swing arm. I think it was from a GSXR.......?  Mike, got your ears on?

2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
4) Important items for the '84-87 FJ's:

I asked Mike and his reply was "The rear hugger is off a Gsxr I have to go look in my notes what year but I think it was late 90's

Mike"
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Well, during the last WCFJR I was trying to get close for a picture when Mike decided to perform a Blip test on his carbs and forgot his bike was in gear. Holy CRAP!!! He spun the rear like he hit butter and he and the bike were closer to the grass than he would have liked. I think our local Brit might have some footage of Mike's unfortunate mishap.....

Let me check my photos to see if I actually got and pics.
